MrGrumpy's sends home the Sunshine

Another early start, MrGrumpy was in the office by 6:45 this morning and he had to fill up with gas on the way.

MrGrumpy has noticed that the weather in Sunnyvale is cooling down a little (about 21-22 deg C) as the UK is hotting up 28 deg C max today (ready for his return), looking at the forecast it will have evened out by the weekend 21-22 at both.

It was another Donut Thursday, he was so busy with his work that he forgot, it was only when somebody walked past his cube and reminded him, that he remembered. He knew there was a reason why he did not have breakfast this morning.

MrGrumpy has had a run in with his technology today, his laptop got very confused with it's mouse and wireless connections, requiring several reboots, fiddling with various settings, turning it off and on again... Finally it seems to be working again. One of the side effects of mixing multiple operating systems on a single device, MrGrumpy thinks. Maybe he was just having a bad technology day!

As the afternoon draws on, MrGrumpy is getting quite hungry, does he wait for the very last free meal in the canteen at 7:00pm or does he head home and treat himself to a pizza at the local near home. Maybe it is time for a snack and see how he feels later. He checked what tonights option of free food is, it is Korean BBQ, that is OK but he is still tempted by a pizza and to quote MrHomer, "Hot Pizza, the food of Kings!".

Today is the end of The Prisoner (staring MrGrumpy) - Season 1 - his last full day in the CubeFarm, tomorrow he will be heading for the airport at lunchtime (so only a 5 hour working day), the morning will just be like the end credits, time to tidy up some loose ends and ensure MrZee is busy for the next couple of weeks.

MrGrumpy intends on maintaining some updates during his vacation, they may not be uploaded daily - depending on wifi availability. Most entries could be "sitting by pool in the sun, drinking beer or eating out" so don't expect too much classic MrGrumpy. But then he will be in a foreign country and there is a general tendency for things to annoy him.

On his way home, MrGrumpy's scrooge gene kicked in,  having spent quite a lot of money last weekend, he decided to use the emergency frozen microwave food instead of going out. The Pizza slice was more like a pizza coaster, so he also nuked up the pasta stuff as well. Between the two there was just enough for a snack. What did he expect given they were only $0.99 each. Washed down with a couple of beers and some chips (crisps) while watching mythbusters, that will have to do him for tonight.

MrGrumpy is not sure why this post did not publish last night, it was still showing as draft this morning, even though he had told it to publish.
